Publishing and Consuming Presto Services

 Mashups are themselves built on top of services from many different sources that you publish in the Presto Mashup Server.

Services may be based on standards, such as RSS for syndication services or SOAP for web services. Services can also be "created" easily to work with legacy applications, databases or simple resources in your organization such as Excel spreadsheets. See Supported Services for a complete list of the types of services that can be published in Presto.

You use Service Explorer or Presto Connectors to publish and manage Presto services. See Publishing and Managing Services with Service Explorer for links to the tasks and concepts for services and Service Explorer. See Publishing and Consuming Services Using Presto Connectors for information on using the various Presto Connectors.
